Nerdcore Died (featuring Random)

Yeah I said it, nerdcore died
Logged in a line and they all asked why
Now I'm the bad guy cause all I did was try
To start a dialogue on just what went awry
Stop whining, you've got to learn the basics
Your album was a train wreck, I know it's hard to face it
Basically you debased the scene
Chased a little dream and then you called me mean
When all I did was call the genre's time of death
Gave props to some rappers that I thought were the best
But you didn't make the list, you felt dissed
Wrote some simple rhymes that you said I dismissed
Do 8-bit beats, I am mixtape nation
All about your Xbox and your PlayStation
Feeling it I'm not, your CD wasn't hot
I guess you had your shot

I know a lot of rappers who people who claim
To be deep in the game but they secretly lame
And when I hear their records I start laughing it up
And I wanna tell them "please stop rapping, you suck"
But I don't, cause who am I to crush your dream?
Because I love hip hop, I got love for the scene
But the fact is that many artists barely try their hardest
Or they don't spend the dough to make their productions clean
I rapped on beats that were game related
To my surprise half of the game related
The other half all became angry haters
Who were mad at Mega Fran cause they ain't created
We all had an NES and hummed all the tunes
But good music ain't usually done in your room
So do your thing dog, but don't get sore
Cause I don't hang around your forum much anymore
Cause I don't have time for a message board beef
I'd rather play games or listen to the beats
Or make good music that folks wanna listen to
Don't get it mixed up, Random ain't dissing you
Not that I'm too big to hang out or get with you
Represent yourself in a manner that's official
Think of who you listen to
Imitate then innovate, come original then I'll get at you

Is nerdcore dope? Is nerdcore wack?
Is nerdcore fiction? Is nerdcore fact? (Tell me)
Is nerdcore amateur? Is nerdcore pro?
Should nerdcore stay? Or should nerdcore go? (Tell me)
Is nerdcore real? Is nerdcore fake?
Is nerdcore love? Or is nerdcore hate? (Tell me)
Does nerdcore matter? Is nerdcore proven?
Is nerdcore winning? Is nerdcore losing? (Tell me)

I got love for the kids with the laptops
Up in the lab making crunkcore or rap rock
Writing the rhymes cause they're straight flowing nonstop
Putting a name to their styles in a headlock
I got love for the kids with their labels
Making those beats with two Technic turntables
Flipping the script like a dope based on Fable
Killing the tracks just like Cain, you slayed Abel
Look, all I wanna see is amazing art
Invest your heart and play your part
Perfect your craft and straight do you
If you don't do you then who's going to?
Just push it, push it, make it awesome
Build those concepts, get it popping
There's no stopping you when your voice
Makes the world go what like your name was James Joyce

I made the same choice back when I was young
Trying to make beats on my PS1
Made a pact to keep it true and beat, yes none
Wrote raps on the stoop, look how far we've come
Success is a journey, not a destination
So thank God I was blessed with patience
I never been down with this typecast nonsense
If I'm conscious, what are you, unconscious?
I showed you how to plot a career
How to astonish your peers and then I grinded some gears
So take that backpack nerd rap label off, Random
And slap it on a bottle of beer (You hear?)
It's impossible to categorize me
Can't say that anything that's happened surprised me
They still ain't figured it out, sitting in the house
Licking on their mouths, just bickering about nerdcore

Is nerdcore dope? Is nerdcore wack?
Is nerdcore fiction? Is nerdcore fact? (Tell me)
Is nerdcore amateur? Is nerdcore pro?
Should nerdcore stay? Or should nerdcore go? (Tell me)
Is nerdcore real? Is nerdcore fake?
Is nerdcore love? Or is nerdcore hate? (Tell me)
Does nerdcore matter? Is nerdcore proven?
Is nerdcore winning? Is nerdcore losing? (Tell me)
